HISTORIC DOORS FROM Ballyadams Castle in County Laois have been stolen.
Archaeologist Neil Jackman said that while Ballyadams Castle dates back to the 16th century, the doors may be from the 17th or 18th century.
The doors are very distinctive as they are painted red and are 8cm thick and studded with nails.
The owner of the castle David Butler told TheJournal.ie that he noticed the doors were missing on the afternoon of Saturday 26 May.
“It was a total shock, I was just gobsmacked. I couldn’t believe it.
He said he reckoned the doors were probably “down to order for somewhere in France or Spain or England”.
Butler added that it’s likely the doors may have been sold to somebody who has no idea they have been stolen.
“There are three castles being done up in Ireland at the moment so that’s also something we should check.”
Anybody with information is being asked to contact at Abbeyleix Garda Station.

It was burning. ‘She later used it a second time’. I put my hand in the fire. It burned. I took it out and ran it under a cold tap. I thought this was normal. I stick my hand in again. I s*^t you not. It started to burn again
@Dessie Curley: Given the product was a chemical skin peel it would be reasonable to expect some sensation.
Also, you know if you stick your hand in a fire you’ll be injured. It’s a reasonable expectation that of a expert you have paid recommends a product to you that it won’t cause extensive and lasting skin damage.
Every last one of these cosmetic products carry a warning on the packet to ‘apply a test patch’ or ‘discontinue use if skin irritation occurs’ not that isn’t just basic common sense…
With company out of business – who pays the €37K. Genuine question.
Retroactive claim from the liability insurance policy held by the business at the time of the incident.
They wouldn’t bother suing a wound down Ltd. company and joining the list of creditors.
But she didn’t have a facial. She opted for a chemical peel that works by burning off the top layers of your skin. BURNING OFF. Total rubbish. She didn’t deserve a penny.
The beauty therapist told her she had sensitive skin and then recommended the product. Clearly at fault. The amount awarded seems high to me though.
Saw a photo of her on another site. Poor woman looks destroyed :)
about 20% of white Irish women have rosacea. I could have an extra 35k now if only I’d the cop on!!! Was the Groupon facial!
Exactly – if she’d been diagnosed with contact dermatitis or some allergic response I’d say fair enough, but rosacea is a common condition of unknown cause.
@Tom the Bomb: A common condition which she didn’t have before she used the recommended product.
have your say
